May The Clarity of Light Be Yours

Well...I've been away for a while. Attending to home things and family and holiday dinners and school presentations and sick children and drawing excursions and a new computer, among other things. And now I feel, on this brand new day of 2013, that I can return a bit to myself. On the winter solsitce I fashioned this new winter alter...

...listening deeply for the blessings and lessons of the season of darkness. Things are asleep, the sky is dark, the moon on the snow bright. I light the little fires on my alter and burn the new studio fireplace....

...beckoning to the light to enter my life and help me find clarity for the new year, the next turn around the sun. Tea is sipped and ideas and dreams of plans are swirling; the new year a open book. I wanted to share a very dear poem by John O'Donohue for this special day, given kindly to me by my sweet friend Ellen. May your new year be blessed always, in all ways.
